Buchanan, bnsky, pleasant , voiced and 37, has been a buc eessfnl dentist for a decade, all the while nursing a yen to be an actor. ' But unlike others who i jaerer break away, he's on - the Verge of tossing over a career of - jmlling teeth for one of extract ing laughs, Drain Orer Drills He isn't in pictures by acci denU. He became a dentist most ly because his ' father was one, but fornd - during college that a dramatic reading course attract ed him "far moTe than - drills and forceps.

"Finally I told myself," he aays, " 'Ed. you're not getting any younger. If you're going to do anything with acting, It's time you got started.' So I quit my job, moved my practice south and here I am." f He's had two major roles in the past few months, "When the Dal tons Rode,"' and "Arizona." Both are westerns and both required a beard. At the moment he's sport ing as luxuriant a crop of chin and cheek foliage as one finds in many a day, waiting to see jWhether the. adornment will fit iln with his next role. ! What do his patients think about it? ' "They seem to like the idea," he's found. "It's novel and I believe it's brought me patients. Only trouble Is, they want to ask questions. And that slows me op in my fillings." Visit Aumsville From Washington AUMSVILLE Mr. and Mrs. Arthur L. Lowe of Yakima, Wash., have been here this week visiting friends.
